If the polymer is capable of exhibiting a secondary transition [Beta], (associated to the local relaxation modes of the macromolecular structure or the relaxation of the side groups), Bauwens showed that at high strain rates, the variation of the yield stress with the strain rate can be described by the generalized theory proposed by Ree-Eyring (2):
